Plugged in my new '56 GT last night for the first time. While I no longer own the POS Gibson 60's Tribute and can't A/B the two, I do remember how the Gibson P90's sounded. They were definitely hotter than the Epi pickups. Whether they sounded better is a purely subjective thing. They sounded great for a Cream/Clapton vibe through my Vox AC4TVH, but I couldn't get anything resembling a clean sound through that amp. The Epi does a good clean and gets a little "rowdier" at volume. They're both good pickups - just not the same.
